17. "Behold,
I stand at the door and knock. If any man listens to My voice and open
the door to Me, I will come in to him and have supper with him, and he
with me."Blessed the ears of the soul alert
enough, recollected enough to hear this voice of the Word of God;
blessed also the eyes of this soul which in the light of a deep and
living faith can witness the coming of the Master into His intimate
sanctuary. But what then is this coming? "It is an unceasing
generation, an enduring hymn of praise." Christ comes with His
treasures, but such is the mystery of the divine swiftness that he is
continually coming, always for the first time as if He had never come;
for His coming, independent of time, consists in the eternal now, and an
eternal desire eternally renews the joys of the coming. The delights
that He brings are infinite, since they are Himself. "The capacity of
the soul, enlarged by the coming of the Master, seems to go out of
itself in order to pass through into the immensity of Him who comes; and
a phenomenon occurs; God, who is our depths, receives God coming to us,
and God contemplates God; God in whom beatitude consists."
